Details

Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim may try to access already freed window structure. Exploitation beyond crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue has been addressed in commit 25aabc2b which has been included in release version 9.0.2106. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
